You may own the land but the state owns and controls the native wildlife as a natural resource.
If you shoot a deer on you own property out of legal season it is poaching and you can go to jail.
You have to abide in all game laws no matter where you hunt, federal and state.
You do need to contact your local Department of Wildlife for information as to what you need to hunt on your own land legally, each state is different and there for you need to contact them personally and see what is needed in your state.
But whether public or privet all native species belongs to the state as a natural resource.

Yeah it's illegal to hunt in a closed season even if it's on your own land. You own the land, but not the game on it. If you've got a problem with deer damaging crops, call your local game management office. They should be able to help you set up a depredation hunt if needed.
I would highly recommend following all wildlife laws. If you're found guilty of a wildlife crime and lose your hunting privileges in any of these states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, or Wyoming, you lose them in all of those states. It's called the Wildlife Violator Compact. Just thought I'd share!

Keep in mind that most DNR agencies have MORE Police powers than your average street cop. They catch you with an out of season deer, the next step is walking into your home and checking your freezer. Same in the field. If you have a cooler with you, they will check that cooler to make sure you have no hidden game in there.
Best bet is to follow the rules. They can take your car, gun, gear, and fine you and jail you and you lose the privilege of hunting for 5 years and possibly posses any firearm.
Out of season, pick mushrooms, berries, nuts etc. Still is your land, but the game isn't.
